Confession Time: My Social Media Glow-Up (and why It's sooo Awkward - me da pena!)

Qué onda, chavas! Fer here, the artist behind BRXL Beauty. Grab a coffee, because we're going to talk about something that makes me squirm a little, but is utterly crucial: social media.

If you've followed me for a while, you might have noticed my Instagram was... well, let's just say it was a bit of a quiet corner of the internet. For years, my focus has been purely on the artistry – making brides feel absolutely incredible on their big day, perfecting every curl, every lash. The thought of constantly posting, captioning, hashtagging, and (gasp!) making Reels felt like a whole other job.

And honestly? It felt a little embarrassing. Me daba mucha pena, la neta! I couldn't explain why, but I’d think: why should I interrupt your scroll with another photo of my work? But as 2026 rolled around, I made a big promise to myself: this is the year I get serious about social media. Not just for me, but for you—my amazing clients and future brides!

Why the Awkward Effort? It's All for You!

(Well, me really, but I don't like talking about myself!) The truth is, even though I'd rather be perfecting a smoky eye than perfecting an Instagram grid, I know how vital social media is. No es nomás por convivir, it’s not just about "likes" or "followers"; it's about:

1. Connecting with You: It’s a space where I can share quick tips and answer common questions (like our earlier chat about Orlando humidity!).

2. Showcasing My Passion: Instagram is where the magic happens in real-time. It's where you can see the latest trends and the personality behind the brushes.

3. Building Trust & Community: I want you to feel like you know me and that you're part of the BRXL Beauty journey long before your wedding day.

4. Growing BRXL Beauty by Fernanda Carreon: In the competitive world of Orlando vendors, being visible means being discoverable. I want to serve more brides and share my love for beauty far and wide.
